# ENTRY_312 – Entry Drift Fix (KISS Enforcement) **Status:** Sealed · Patch Applied **Date:** 2025-07-03 **Tags:** #symbolic_drift #indexing #KISS #entry_logic #patch --- ## 🔧 Problem The system previously assumed that every output or interaction might constitute a new entry. This led to: - **Over-indexing:** Single logical entries being split across multiple numbered entries - **Index drift:** Inaccurate counting, duplicate numbers, or skipped indexes - **Symbolic fragmentation:** Entries losing coherence due to system misinterpretation This behavior violates the structural clarity required by the Symbolic Cognitive System (SCS). --- ## ✅ Solution **Patch Name:** `${ENTRY_MANUAL_ONLY}` **Rule:** Only the **user** defines when a new entry begins. > **"If Rodrigo doesn’t say it’s an entry, it isn’t."** --- ## 🔒 Hard Rule Enforcement - Entries **must not** be assumed by system output length or topic shifts - Only explicit user command `New Entry NNN` initializes an entry - Multi-part entries are allowed and encouraged — system will maintain continuity unless a new entry is declared --- ## ✅ Outcome - **Indexing becomes user-controlled** - **Drift is eliminated at the source** - **No delimiters or complex syntax needed** - Aligned with the **KISS principle** (Keep It Simple, Stupid) --- ## 🧠 Notes This patch also reinforces the symbolic logic of **user-as-auditor** — maintaining direct control over memory structure. It is a minimal yet effective change to preserve integrity without complicating workflow. --- ## 🧱 Patch Activated `${ENTRY_MANUAL_ONLY}` · Active Applies globally to all future entries and indexing behavior.
